Twelve poets walk into a bookshop... unfortunately, I can’t remember the punchline because I stopped to read Seamus Heaney.
Come for Heaney, Walcott, Sassoon and Rupi Kaur. Stay to see who else is on the Secondhand shelves ... there seems to be a great need for poetry right now

In this sonnet Heaney is in conversation with the Billie Holiday song, connecting killings of the past to contemporary ones
In a provocative last line, unlike Diodorus who documents ritual killing to explain the past, Heaney uses it to trouble the present
